The Weekly Readlines January 25 -

A note from the editor’s desk: we’re not apolitical at LGBTSr. We have an agenda—being there for the aging and elderly among us. This is acutely important during these times of erasure of us and the escalating assault on all things LGBTQ. If you take offense at my worldview, please be assured: it’s not going to change.

I tried that whole “I’m not going to be political” thing a few times, and the ghost of every friend I had who died from AIDS screamed, “What is wrong with you?” I heard them clearly and I won’t be getting along to get along any time soon. – Mark
